So you don't need to get your car tuned with the kit?

where the downpipe connects to the manifold??? I thought it connected to the exhaust housing on the turbo...

Whatever, I just woke up off a few hours of sleep with 2 kids when I typed that up.

And of course I need it tuned, but the kit comes with presets for every pound of boost on what you should increase the fuel too. So I can run for a little while, pretty safe, but will be getting tuned in a few weeks. Im guessing before my clutch, since tuning is more important.

So you think about 7 or 8 you'll be by on Friday Les? I think it will be you, I and 2 of my friends. Maybe another person or two. I dont want a whole bunch of people over on Friday. I am sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo oooooooo excited. Its driving me crazy not having it on yet. Especially when somebody wants to race, I just feel like, Come back in a week to race This is a terrible pain of looking at it and not havin it on. I may start myself with like taking headers/cat off and starting on the manifold/turbo. I should be in the process of that whenever you get there. Juss let me know (but you prob. wont know til Friday?) when youre planning on coming. I got a soldering iron and some solder, so for the electrical you can use that. You may have a better one though, if you want to use yours. Mine was 10 bucks.

I hope I get my gauges in time as well. I really really dont want to have it on w/out the gauges. I will still be puttin the turbo on regardless, but I wont be able to drive it hard at all.

And a question Les:

Do you remember the preset directions for the FMU? It said like 1Psi - than a number, and it went up with each pound. Well, do I set the settings at each PSI so as it reaches that amount of boost, it adds that amount of fuel? Or do I add for RPMs? Or both maybe? This was probably confusing as hell, my bad.


Is everybody still coming (or changed there minds) on Saturday?? Let me know if you want to come.

here is the list which I will edit as people respond (if you dont respond, you get no grub or beer, hehe):

Me
TommyTran
n20hcvc
azcruisin (best to be there or something bad will happen to your new car, hehe j/p)
Danny
Dustin
Adam

Im shootin for alot earlier than that but fridays are hella busy for me at work usually. See if you can snag a haynes manual that I can munch on the wiring diagram on friday night to match what we need to for the turbo timer portion of the install... also the grid with the boost and timing laid out is the injector pulsewidth for the additional injectors... it looked like a based or reference map to start from! It looked like it was only for boost so there will need to be some adjustment depending on how it runs at diff rpm... do you have gauges yet? you getting A/F? its not accurate but it'll tell you if you're in the danger zone at least!!!

I pretty much have the whole weekend scheduled for car stuff so its not taking me away from anything bro!... Uberjeff keep your eyes peeled on the board for how its goin... give a shout if you still want to on Sunday!... I'll make time since you took the day off!

Peace

Ill make time for sure, Im down to work on cars all weekend.

How about I find a wiring diagram of all the wires and stuff online. Between Gauges, pillar pod, spark plugs, clutch, and adjustable cam gear, Im gonna be screwed for Mexico. So Im gonna look for the wiring info on here. It has been posted before, if that doesnt work, I may hit up a library, hehe. They got em. You can let me know if the directions I find are clear. I know where most the wires are and know most the places to tap into them I believe, so I can probably just show you what to tap into. Ive been throughout my car like 1,000 times with electrical crap. My 12v acc. plugin thing, may not work though, so Ill have to find another power wire that turns on with the car.

Do these help, they show the ECU, and how to do a VAFCII on our cars. I have a LX, but EX should be the same minus the Vtec solenoid and wires. and TDC wire possibly, not sure in nonvtec has that?

edit- the gauges I am getting for now and some el cheapos, but should work decently enough for a month. I am getting a A/F, Boost, and oil pressure gauge. So that should be a decent reading for now.

 
Rep Power: 0

Not what I meant... I mean the wiring up by the steering column where you put the key in!! The wiring off the cylinder is what'll get tapped for keeping the car running when the key is removed...

Peace

oh, got ya. There is apicture with the instructions that has what wire to tap into, but I have seen that pic before. There are like 4 wires coming out the top of it, and you have to tap into one of those, right next to the keys. my bad

Gimme a few minutes

I'll check on the progress when I get back from Tucson Saturday night. I hope you take some pics of the install. Sunday is a lock. What time are we going to get started? I still need to get directions too. JT was going to call me and try to help too but he hasn't caught up with me yet. I'm tired of the parts boxes taunting me everytime I walk by them. I need to get hooked up soon!

Sorry, no KB azcruisin. Only reggie. I had to buy gauges, spark plugs, and a pillar pod this week, so not enough $$. But I got some reggie thats pretty nice.

There are directions for suspension on this site uberjeff, look under the DIY forum

Ya know as soon as I put my machined head back on I'll have a spare vtec head and a vtec solonoid........

Actually I meant directions to your place, or Les' place, or wherever we are meeting on Sunday to work on the cars. It sounds like between Les and JT we should have the suspension knowledge completely covered.

I am on tatum between greenway/Bell. If you are on Bell, Go south, and get directly in your left lane. It is the second street (not the one right after Home Depot, but the next one) It is called Aire Libre, you go East on that. You than take your second right, which is 49th or 48th street, any one would work, the first second, 3rd, or 4th street. You take it down, and it will turn into Kings at the end. I am directly in front of you, you will see some Hondas, or at least mine. Call when your coming over, and I can straighten the directions up as well.

602 446 1864 I am 4851 E Kings Ave. I will do a mapquest for ya sometime soon

edit:

if any questions, let me know, or call me up.

Ya know, I may buy that off of you in the next couple months. How much are you wanting? not like the vtec does very much. My friends are all like, vtec rocks, it makes me so much faster, Im like, ok. They have 6thgen EXs BTW. Its funny

 
Rep Power: 379

Ya know from that map I'm only about 5 miles from you. My ex had an LX. I could notice the difference. Not sure what I'll sell it for. I have to get this other head up and running first.

I need IK20's correct? Are those the right plugs? a couple cooler than stock.

 
Rep Power: 283

Dallis your EX is really an LX, man you got ripped off.

 
Rep Power: 0

hehe. I think an LX with an EX head is a little quicker than the EX as well, not sure though, but that would be sweet. Either way not like an EX will beat me

 
Rep Power: 0

Correct stock is the IK16 plug and IK20 are the next cooler plug... if even colder plug is desired they do have the IK22!

I'll bring some brews on Sunday. What time can we get started? I was thinking Gordon Biersch Marzen or Dunkles if that works for everybody.

hell yeah. I dunno, I may be out late saturday (hopefully not in jail, hehe) But should wake up by 9 regardless of when I go to bed. It sucks sometimes having kids, cuz the nights I dont have em, I still wake up early as F, when I want to sleep in.
